It’s been pretty long since I have posted something personal.. been too busy with the stuff.. sorting out the things..

So what’s up?

I have been playing GTA IV almost all the nights.. that surely gives me relief from the daily work load..

Also hunting for a good web 2.0 designer for my company.. trust me.. finding the right guys is the most difficult part in running a company.. you have to keep on calling the guys, some of them will come for the interview, few of them will be good for 2nd round and out of that, few will get job at other companies in between.. and in the end, you get handful of people to select from and none of them knows the stuff you need.. so hire one guy.. train him.. within 6-7 months.. he will kick your but off and move to other company…haha this is how the life is..

Apart from job hunting, I have been playing around with version 2.0 of my iPod Touch software. I just have one word, FANTASTIC. The App Store simply rocks..  now, that’s a different story that because of my laziness or may be carelessness, I lost all the songs while upgrading to version 2.0 (It formats the device)..But yea, I am loving this version 2.0

And Yes, the last thing.. if you guys are using Twitter, then you can follow me here:

I have been posting the stuff quite regularly out there..

OK, I am done for now..

I don’t need luck because I have love.

OK OK OK, before you think of hitting me, I am not the author of this line.

The credit goes to Mr. Baweja, our own, Harman Baweja. I went for the movie without any expectations and at the end of the movie, I left with lot of expectations. From movie? From Harman? Nah, from this review, I am expecting this review to be much more entertaining than the movie. So are you guys ready? Hell, Yeah, I am sure you guys are..

So here we go..

The story?

A rich guy, Karan (Harman Baweja), who is not so happy with his life as his dad does not love him and his mother is no more. So, we see the guy in tears and all. But suddenly, one fine morning he sees one girl trying to catch a butterfly, she closes her eyes and the butterfly is in her hand.

So? Now the guy finds it cool, he tries it.. butterfly is in his hand. So what? Well, their love starts with Butterfly.

The guy now goes to watch some cycle racing stuff, the girl is also there, she approaches the guy thinking he is her best friend’s boyfriend and asks him to win the race for her. The guy asks his friends to arrange a cycle and some stuff as he was there to WATCH the race. Ok, the guys wins. Misunderstandings clear, they go on a date. In this process, 2-3 songs and some stupid bus scene takes place.

Now, the girl leaves for her home in train but the guy doesn’t know where did she go, he misses the train. So now what?

Well, our dear Butterfly comes again, jumps on the screen where the station names have been listed, then moves to some station name.

So? Well, it means, according to the butterfly, the girl is staying on that station. So the guy goes there.. and miracle.. he finds her there.

The love story starts, guy’s uncle come in picture.. Uncle Ya (Ya, it is a funny name haha) Boman Irani..such a great actor.. but must have been paid good money. Uncle Ya has some time machine using which we can go to anytime, future or past.

Okay, back to the love story, the girl and guy are about to have a cold kiss. (Watch the movie to know that.. haha) and accident… the girl is no more.

The guy cries, asks his uncle to bring back the time but machine got hung, they can’t go back but they can go in future, they decide to go in year 2050.. Mumbai..

Okay, interval..

Everyone in the theatre is cheering, I could see the happy faces.. nah, not because they liked the movie.. but because they got chance to eat something.. coz in first half Harman was busy eating their head with those stupid lines and songs.

I know, I have been pretty lazy in writing reviews. Missed the review of Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic, was gonna miss the one too but finally got some time to write down the stuff.

Ok, the plot.. very simple actually, very predictable story too. Story is about a group of college going friends, 2 friends are very close to each other but never realized that they are in love. And when they do, it’s pretty late but there is always a happy ending.

Ya, I know, I am very bad at storytelling, check here for detailed version of the plot / story.

Okay, done with the initial steps, Now the review time.. my favorite.

So what’s good about the movie?

Genelia!!!! She simply rocked, she looked so beautiful. She acted pretty well too. The direction, the execution and the acting. Each and every actor was perfect. Imran Khan, the new kid on the block, full marks, he perfectly fit in the character of Jay.

The music, superb stuff. Hats off to A.R.Rahman, no one can beat him. You might not like the music much when you hear for the firs time but it slowly grows on you. 

The dialogues, really loved the dialogues, so young.. really liked the L and GPL thing in the beginning. There is some kind of freshness in the movie, be it dialogues, characters, music.. everything is so fresh, so natural. I have noticed people laughing like mad, the guy sitting in the next row was even jumping on his seat.

So what’s not so good?

Well, the direction and the execution. But those were good points right? Yea, but in some places I found few things being added unnecessarily. Take example of characters of Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. Even Naseeruddin Shah’s character was bit stretched. But to be frank, those college going kids actually loved those things. So it’s gonna work for them.

The climax, though it was predictable but some kind of twist would have been great. I am fedup of those airport stuff.

Apart from that, everything was perfect.

So, overall, the movie was pretty good. I would rate it Rating: ★★★½☆ A must watch. College going kids are gonna love it.

On the box office front, I can see it reaching Hit or Super Hit status easily.

And finally, one important thing.. Pappu Can’t Dance Saala.. haha
